"If I were to wish for anything, I should not wish for wealth and power, but for the passionate sense of the potential, for the eye which, ever young and ardent, sees the possible. Pleasure disappoints, possibility never. And what wine is so sparkling, what so fragrant, what so intoxicating, as possibility!" - Kierkegaard

but no seriously i guess its good to retain a defenseman after losing Lidstrom and Stuart but I really don't see anything what makes Quincey stand out in any sense of the term. Granted he's probably more of a stay at home defenseman more than anything else.

To put this in perspective, his cap hit percent last season was 5.2% of the total cap next season he will have a 5.3% percentage cap hit. This is a minor raise.

True but his contract was already fairly inflated when he was with the Avs. So if anybody's is pissed off at this contract then they should take it out on the Avs or... Is it the Kings?... Anyhow, f*** the Avs anyhow. And f*** the Kings. Assholes.

Exactly..he's going to get every chance to prove he is way better then he was last year. Give him lots of minutes and ride him.

To be fair he was brought in right around the time the Wings were close to setting the record for consecutive home wins. There was a wee bit of pressure which I'm sure didn't make the transition to a new system all that smooth.
